This will be a busy weekend at the Swenson house. I will be on fox 9 http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/category/233671/morning tomorrow morning, June 2nd at 8:20 a.m. I will be showing candy crafts! On Sunday, my oldest daughter Hannah graduates. We are having her party that day too. Oh my.
here it is filled with knitted Easter eggs.
Back to the candy jar. I bought a big box of gumballs for $18 at Sam's Club. Isabelle and I sorted them by color... I wanted to use yellow, white, pink and orange for Hannah's party.
This jar is big, so I added a layer of salt water taffy to the bottom.
You will be seeing the red and blue ones around the 4th of July.
I added a ribbon and some trims to the top and it's awfully cute!
Izzy helped me fill one with suckers too. These will be part of the candy bar at our graduation party! I'll share all sorts of pictures next week!
Can't wait to see the photos--I bet it will be an amazing party! Congratulations to your firstborn and to you for parenting through this season of life.
ReplyDeleteI'll be watching you on 9, my husband is the unofficial president of Belinda's fan club so I'll be on TV2! Have fun, wear EXTRA makeup! I grilled in the 'backyard' with Mike Pomerantz a couple years ago for CH. 11. Had a blast!
